My point was that everyone does it. But, in my opinion, the right is the worst of the two. All I have to do is watch how the racists in my life vote, and not a damn one of them voted for Obama, Pete. Not a single one.

If not for the race, I believe a few folks would fall out of the anti-obama camp, and actually support some of his policies.

Newt's tag of Kenyan was simply a way of avoiding the N word. Admittedly it is not all the problem but racism is sure a big part of the problem.
